Barriers;

Before midnight.

It's already the last day of 2011!

Long story short, 2011 was a pretty good year. There were the ups and the downs and there were people who came and gone. But I guess that's life. Still, I'm thankful for everything :) I'm looking forward to my last year of high school and also these three dreaded letters: SPM.

Cheers and here's to a crazy year ahead!

Fun in the sun.

2011-11-26T11:53:00.004+08:00

Times really flies, doesn't it?

I 've realized that I'd actually left my poor blog /abandoned/ since August. I don't want to say that school, projects, etc etc have been taking my blogging time away (it partly has) but I was also mostly lazy :( I wonder if people still actually read this blog, lol.

Anyways, the year-end holidays are finally here! After almost 2 weeks of my final exams, you can say that I'm quite free at the moment. Quite. It's my SPM year next year and I've already got tuition classes starting in December, yay.

Leaving that issue aside, I'm going to really enjoy my holidays as much as I can. I have outings to go, places to see! and also, a concert to attend. (which has made me really, really broke by the way) :p

Happy holidays, everyone!

MTV World Stage: Live in Malaysia 2011.

2011-08-01T21:37:00.004+08:00

I promised I'd blog about my MTV World Stage experience, so here I am :)

We reached i-City at about 2.00pm...and apparently we were there too early. But I guess it was pretty worth for my brother and his friends because the queue grew longer and longer :| I queued at the X-Zone lane by myself, waiting for Veeni and the others to come. We ended up being one of the last few people to go in, because we had to wait to get our passes. I was already worried about not being able to stand in the front because short people like me deserve to worry about things like that :p

Until we found out that there was another queue inside. *sigh* Fast forward to where they opened the gates.

Everyone ran into the concert area like crazy and the middle area was already full, but Veeni, Adiba, Dayana & I managed to squeeze into the front of the barricades so technically, we had a front row view of the whole stage :)

We had to wait about half an hour before VJ Utt & Holly came out and introduced the event and what not. VJ Holly was so pretty in real life, I swear. I kept waving at her and guess what? She smiled at me back, hehe.

So the opening act was our very own Pop Shuvit. They did an amazing job pumping up the crowd! I got so excited when they performed their song, 'Mara Bahaya' lol it was so amazing to hear that song live \o/ Malaysia boleh~ lol

BEAST was up next. *fangirl screams* And of course I went nuts when they performed...I just couldn't control the fangirl side of me :p They were amazing, as usual. I've actually seen them live 3 times this year alone, and I'm still not tired of seeing them. I don't think I ever will, lol.

Doojoon and Dongwoon noticed me and my friends at one point too :'D

Neon Trees was up next and I have to say that I was really amazed at Tyler's singing. He sounded so good live! He kept running around the stage and dancing randomly lol it was so entertaining to watch. The best part was when they performed Animal; it totally got the crowd singing and jumping!

MTV definitely saved the best for last because 30 Seconds To Mars were the last performers that night. Seeing the one-and-only Jared Leto that night felt amazing. He took the time to talk and interact with the fans, and he randomly picked some of them to come up stage with him for the last song. I was picked too but I was already in a about-to-faint condition and I was lazy to jump over the barricades :p

And when Shannon; the drummer threw his drum sticks to the crowd after the final song...I ended up holding one side and another girl was holding the other side, lol. We stared at each other for a moment and it didn't feel right :( I could clearly tell that she was a 30 Seconds to Mars fan, so yeah. I gave it to her instead. At least I got to touch it, lol.

It was another amazing concert! Of course, there were some bad parts of the whole experience, but hey, everything has it's pros and cons~ I'm definitely going for the next World Stage if they ever decide to have it in Malaysia again :)

Some of the goodies I got from the concert~plus my official BEAST slogan towel 8D

You got to love weekends.

2011-07-26T20:50:00.001+08:00

The past weekend has been so awesome \o/
MTV World Stage was A M A Z I N G and I had so much fun trolling with the girls & stanclub ♥

Pictures & updates this weekend ; but for now:

My view of the stage! and the creepy security guard at the corner lol

Too far apart.

Barely alive.

2011-06-18T23:42:00.001+08:00

....that's probably the status of my blog right now, lol.

My computer was sent for repair, so that's why I haven't been updating so much :B *bows down*

Super Show 3: Malaysia.

2011-03-30T10:16:00.004+08:00

On the 19th of March, I went to Super Junior's 3rd Asia Tour concert: Super Show 3 :)
I went for Super Show 2 last year, and when organizers announced that they would be coming here again this year, I couldn't miss it for the world. When people ask me, "How was the concert?" I can never answer it in a single word...although in my mind I'd totally say "IT WAS SO AWESOME AND AMAZING AND DFGFGHGJKL" and spazz like a crazy fangirl but I'll just give a thumbs up as an answer instead, lol.

Or maybe a double thumbs up.

Yee Won & I got second row seats, we were really near to the stage, LIKE REALLY NEAR.
I also managed to sneak my D3100 in, which isn't easy to do because our bags were thoroughly checked before entering the stadium :o

Highlight of the concert: I got to shake Kyuhyun and Leeteuk's hands, teehee.

Check out my Flickr page for more pictures ;)

It's time to let loose.

2011-03-10T22:32:00.007+08:00

I'm finally done with my first monthly test, yay!

Long story short: I screwed most of my papers, and I'm probably going to fail them all. Yup.

-

My birthday just passed a few days ago and I really want to thank all of you for your wishes. It really made my my day :)

Mum got me a Nikon D3100 for my PMR/birthday present! I really didn't think I'd actually get one...but thank you mummy <3

The holidays are coming up, and I'm so excited! Outings with friends and family and getting to properly celebrate my birthday is all I'm looking forward for. And not forgetting:

Super Show 3! The concert's only 9 days away (!)

I went to the pre-sale in Sungei Wang with Jihah and we queued up for 10 whole hours.....yes. I can't even believe how I managed to stay up for that long without any proper sleep (and food lol)
But it was all good! I got to meet Keyla in person and I got second row seats for me & Yee Won :)

It's going to be Yee Won's first concert and I feel honored to be able to take her along, lol. You're in good hands, Yee Won :p
It took me a lot of persuading (and begging) because I always feel really bad for her whenever she asks me about all my concert experiences and what not. Her parents gave her the green light right away this time, because she had straight A's in her PMR. I usually go to concerts, showcases, etc alone from here and meet up with my friends from KL there but it's really exciting to actually get to take a friend along :)

Happy holidays!

The DiGi Live Kpop Party Experience.

2011-01-30T15:49:00.007+08:00

I'll try making this post short and simple :p

Day 1: I never go to airports just to welcome artists lol and this was my first time! I felt really lucky to get to see BEAST, 4minute & G.NA a.k.a Cube Family up close and we got to help with their luggages too (not what every fangirl gets to do, lol) I had Jade & Athirah with me, and also Li who came all the way from London! And also, our welcome troupe gang:

It's funny how we all clicked in such a short time. I had lots of fun meeting you guys <3

My passes for the day!

Highlight of the day #1: I got to see Jiyong up close. He was practically walking right next to me, hehe.

Highlight of the day #2: We got to listen to BEAST & G.NA rehearse at the stadium (how amazing is that?) And the best part was: we were the only fans there, along with three other girls...listening to them singing, LIVE. It felt like a private concert, just for us! We were cheering and screaming and eventually (because there were so little people around) they heard us (!) and managed to say 'thank you' too!

Day 2: We didn't get enough sleep from the night before (we reached Athirah's place around 3am that night) but we managed to reach the stadium by 7am.

I had a slight fever before leaving and I thought it was just minor but it turned out to be really bad after a few hours ): I constantly kept going to the toilet and I threw up everything I ate. I felt really miserable....and the hot whether did not make things any better. I have to thank Jade who went all the way to Times Square to get me food & Panadol. I'm sorry for not finishing those fish balls :3 I'm also really grateful to Lyn for taking care of me while Jade was gone ;~; But no worries! My fever went down hours later and by the time we entered the stadium, my fever subsided (yay!)

Highlight of the day #3: I got Meet & Greet passes on the day of the concert itself. I was pretty shocked, because I already accepted the fact that I can't get those Meet & Greet passes (because I got them the last time BEAST was here) so I didn't think it would happen to me again :/

But it did! It was a last minute thing, but I was really, really thankful :3 Jade, Athirah and the admins from the fanclub had them too! We decided to line up together so all us friends would be in the same picture \o/

Credits to Digi Youths and UMM @ Facebook for posting our pictures.

We got to do the infamous 'Doopose' with BEAST themselves, hehe. Except for Hyunseung and Junhyung at the far right. They were having those poker faces in every single picture lol. Metting BEAST and getting to take a group photo with them (again) felt so surreal. It's not easy to take a photo (or even go near them) especially when they are promoting overseas. I wasn't as nervous as I was during the last time they came here and I got to talk and handshake Dongwoon this time too :) I wish I could do the same for every member but security was being pushy :(

It was my first time meeting 4minute and I must say that they all look much prettier in person :) I also got to greet everyone before the security escorted us out -__-

It was also my first time meeting G.NA! She's really tall in person and so adorable :c I still remember her saying,
"Yay! Let's all take a cute family picture!"

The guards told us that we could enter the stadium before everyone else, so yay! I didn't need to worry about getting suffocated in the crowd anymore, lol.

After the concert, we all went to KLIA (crammed in Athirah's car lol) to send the artists off for their flight :)

My view of the stage. The three of us were right in front :)

It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. I'm so thankful for everything and everyone who shared this experience with me. The other pictures are in my Facebook ;)

S-c-h-o-o-l.

2011-01-08T20:15:00.002+08:00

My first week of Form 4, was okay..I guess.

I'm glad that most of the 3 Mutiaria-ians were in 4 Zamrud, it's like nothing changed. We only had like, 28 students on the first day which was pretty awesome....until more and more people started coming in :(

School's now back in my schedule which means less sleeping for me :( I have tuition classes 4 times a week now, I'll probably go for more in a few weeks :o Everything's different in Form 4 so I hope I'll get used to it soon.

And, before I forget...my resolutions for the year:

1. To be more patient.

2. Grow closer to the people around me.

3. Take up a new hobby.

4. Not to judge people & hold grudges.

5. Do well in Form 4.

There's always room for improvement and change, right? :)

Two-oh-one-one?

2010-12-31T21:01:00.000+08:00

The end of the year is finally here! I can't believe how fast time passes by, seriously :(

I managed to go through 2010; despite the ups and downs. Sometimes bad things happen for your own good, because I've learned so much this year. I thought, "This is the worst year of my life." but I was wrong. Thank you, to the friends who were there for me when I needed someone. And to my mum & my family, who was always there to listen.

And thank you, to those amazing people I've met this year (you know who you are). I've wished you guys all personally, but I would like to say thank you again :) I wouldn't have gone through the year without you guys ♥

New Year resolutions? Well, I'll tell you in my next post :p

Happy New Year.

DiGi K-pop Live Party Launch.

2010-12-06T23:42:00.006+08:00

So yestrerday was the K-pop Party ticket launch @ 1 Utama. I reached there at about 8 and queued up.

The staff from from fanclub saved a spot for me, so I was the 7th person in line :) I also ended up sitting right behind Siu Li, whom I met on Twitter. She said we were "fated to meet", haha. And then I saw Sze Mei, Pui Ling, Wen Yi, Ivy & Jerica right in front. It tuned out they were the first five in the queue, lol. It was good to see them again!

And I finally got to meet Jade & Athirah too :) I got comfortable with them right away <3 After hours of waiting, the DiGi staff started selling tickets at 12, as announced. And I finally got my tickets, ohohoho.

This was only the casing :p

The ticket was inside of it :D

RM 20 Voucher for B2ST T-Shirts & RM50 Voucher for either B2ST, 4Minute or G.NA's albums. This was all included with the ticket :) I think it was a good buy, actually.

Being the 7th person in line, I got a free G.NA autographed photocard!

Lol Jade & Athirah got one too. The girls after us had autographed B2ST photo cards though, but I was really happy with what I got since I already have the boys' autographs :) After that we all decided to try our luck with the lucky draw. They had this big box filled with small white & orange balls. The prizes were:

If you get an orange ball, you get to win passes to either of those three, depending on the number that's written on the ball. I got a white ball the first time, so Athirah drew for me for the second time...and she got it! I tried once again and got another orange ball too :) Athirah was pretty lucky that day...she kept getting orange balls, lol. She even drew one for Jade :p

So in the end, I won passes to:

Teehehehe.

After that, we had lunch @ Burger King. Went back to the entrance later to get our passes. There were performances by some dance groups too.

They were the Malaysian 4Minute. I think they danced pretty well :)

And these were the Malaysian 'BEAST', lol.

Credits to DiGi Youth @ FB for the 2 pictures.

They had the loudest screams, of course, since most of the fans there were B2uties :D They danced well too, and their cover of V.I.U was EPIC. And all of us there knew why :p There was a performance by the Malaysian "G.NA" but I couldn't find any pictures of her, oh well.

The best part was G.NA's live cross-over phone call. You could actually hear her live omg. Everyone went crazy, especially her fanboys XD Growing up in Canada, her English was really fluent. She talked about how excited she was to come to Malaysia since it's going to be her first time. When the MC asked what food she wanted to try when she comes here, she said,
"Oh, I don't mind...because I can eat just everything! I love food!"

She also sang a few verses from her debut single, LIVE. It was just mind blowing. It's not every day you hear an artist sing over a live phone call :)

And I actually recorded the whole phone call, hehe.

All in all, I had a really great day. I'm just thankful to have met so many new people and it's amazing how we could just click without knowing each other's names. Well....we eventually introduced ourselves right after, of course <3

I'll add more pictures on this post once my friends posts them up on Facebook. I didn't bring my camera that day :(

New.

2010-11-11T23:44:00.001+08:00

I decided to delete ~~most~~ some of my blog posts. I figured that it was time to start fresh :)

Last day of Form 3 tomorrow, yay?

Fifty-three.

2010-08-31T13:04:00.008+08:00

Our country's already 53. And we've come a long way. I may not be overly-patriotic like the people on TV (lol), but I really do love Malaysia. Growing up in a country filled with people with different kinds of races, beliefs & religions is pretty cool, I must say. ;D

Selamat Hari Merdeka.

Super Show 2: Live In Malaysia 2010.

2010-06-03T15:55:00.030+08:00

Super Show 2 was my 'first' big concert, (the other ones were all showcases, so they don't really count) XD I guess everybody knows my obsession for Kpop so seeing the largest boy band in the world live was a big thing for me.

I had a great time that night and getting to spend it with the people I love made it so much better ♥

The boys promised to come back for their next tour; Super Show 3. Will it happen?

Over the hurdle.

2010-03-10T19:53:00.007+08:00

FIRST TERM TEST IS OFFICIALLY OVER.

I AM FREE. (for now)

I thought the test would be easy at first because we don't have to study the whole syllabus, but only just a few chapters. BUT I WAS WRONG. Very wrong.

I'm always staying up until 1am to study, I'm always drinking coffee in the morning & I'm not having enough sleep at all. :( The tests were harder than I thought, to be honest. And this is only the first test of the year. :/

But for the time being, I'm going to relax and not think about my test anymore.

The computer's going to get reformatted next week because it lags all the time and everyone at home is practically annoyed already so mum decided to reformat the whole thing. :/

The holidays are coming up though, so YAAAAAYY.

One five.

2010-03-06T23:49:00.008+08:00

First of all, I want to thank every single person who wished me today.

You know who you are. ;)

Thank you all so so much, you guys made my day, seriously. I never thought I would be this happy at all, despite everything that's happening right now, but you guys made it happen. :)

I was really touched by the amount of wishes I had on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. I've never had so many wishes in one day, haha. Some even called me at midnight just to see how am I doing & wished me as well. :')

You guys are the best, and I'm so lucky to have friends like you ♥

Daddy came over & decided to take me out today. It was supposed to be just us father & daughter, but then my little brother wanted to come along, so it's like father, daughter and son? haha. Being the birthday girl, I get to choose where to eat for lunch. Dad suggested this Korean restaurant that he knows about, and I immediately agreed. ha. He knows me too well. ;)

After that we went to The Mines, and dad had a football match at that time, so my little brother & I had to stay in The Mines until he finished his match. I had 2 hours to kill so I bought this month's Seventeen Mag & Galaxie, hung out at Starbucks and without noticing, those 2 hours passed by really quickly & we were off to Sungei Wang. :)

We stopped by at this sports school where my dad teaches on the way, because he wanted to check on his students for some reason, haha. The school is real huge, and it's a sports school slash boarding school. I forgot the name of it though, hah.

At first it was a bit awkward walking around because all I could see were boys. I kept thinking, "is this a boys school?" because I didn't see any girls around. :/ But after that I did see some girls walking pass, and I was relieved, haha.

The students came to greet my dad, and then I saw my old friend who used to go on those sports trips with me. I just found out that she was a student there, haha. She screamed and we literally hugged on the spot. Gosh, I missed her.

Sungei Wang wasn't as crowded as I expected, since we reached there at about, 8.30pm. I really hated going there because of the crowded-ness and their ceilings are so low omg. I don't think tall people can even go in there, haha. But heck, I only went to Sungei Wang to purchase my Super Junior Character T-Shirt.

We were one of the last ones, and the lady was kind enough to allow us to pay for it before closing. I was super excited at first, but then when it was time for me to choose, I went blank. It was between Kyuhyun (2nd from top left) and Donghae (3rd from top left) since Kyuhyun's my favorite member, and Donghae's fishy icon was really cute. ;D But I chose Kyu in the end, I had to stick with my favorite member, sorry Hae. ;)

I would have gotten both sets but then it was RM120 per set for a T-shirt and a flag (as above) and my dad was kind enough to buy it for my birthday, and I can't ask him to buy another one, right? That'll be too selfish, haha.

So I got my redemption form, and I'll have to collect my merchandise on the concert day.

Thank you so much, daddy. You're the best ever. ;)

I had a great birthday, and thank you all so much for the wishes once again.

Term test starts on Monday, best of luck to all of you as well :)
